Abstract Purpose This study assesses the PAUL® glaucoma implant (PGI) in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PEXG) after failed glaucoma surgery. Given PEXG's more aggressive nature, limited research exists on PGI outcomes in this subgroup. This study aims to compare PGI's efficacy and safety in both conditions. Methods A

Comparison of Rebound and Applanation Tonometry in Eyes With Focal Corneal Edema
ABSTRACT Objective To determine the effect of corneal edema on intraocular pressure (IOP) readings and their accuracy and precision when obtained with handheld rebound and applanation tonometers. Animals and Procedures IOP readings from areas of focal corneal edema were compared to those from clear cornea in 10 eyes of 7 glaucomatous cats in vivo using

A large multi-ethnic genome-wide association study identifies novel genetic loci for intraocular pressure. [PDF]
Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. IOP heritability has been estimated to up to 67%, and to date only 11 IOP loci have been reported, accounting for 1.5% of IOP variability.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the accuracy of recalibrated TONOVET Plus (rTVP) and the newly released TONOVET Pro (TVPR) in measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) in ex vivo canine eyes compared to manometer and the established TONOVET (TV). Procedure Sixteen enucleated canine eyes were cannulated to establish manometric IOPs ranging from 5 to 80 mmHg ...
